My dear people of Utanga, as you gather to celebrate the 2024 Utanga New Yam Festival, I extend my warmest congratulations to you all and join you today to celebrate this significant occasion. This ancient tradition and the celebration of the king of crops is a testament to our rich cultural heritage and the abundance of our land.
As we gather to give thanks for the harvest, I commend our dedicated farmers, who have kept the festival alive through their hard work. The festival reminds me of the resilience and hard work that has brought us to this moment. Our farmers dedication and commitment to the continuation of our rich cultural heritage is truly commendable.
As your Chairmanship hopeful, be rest assured that I am committed to supporting and empowering our people to reach their full potential. I promise to continue working tirelessly to bring development and progress to our nation, as it concerns agriculture and other areas of great concern.
I implore all of us to work together to create a better future for ourselves and future generations. May this festival represent unity, prosperity, and joy. May your yams be plentiful and your hearts be full of joy.
